SIX MEN.
The Chastity or Depravity of MolIIe
Hurd to be A~scertaIned by a Jury.

.Mollie Hurd, a comely colored woman,
was arraigned before Judge Fisher yester-
day afternoon charged with being an in
mate of a house of lll-fame. T. NJ. Fisher
is attorney for the defendant, while City
Attorney Van Devanter represents the
people in the matter. After Miss Hurd
had decided that a Jury was a necessary
adjunct to the suit, the venire was struck
by John Nolan and the case postponed
until next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Attorney Fisher declared that he only
desired his client should have a fair trial
and presented the names of six prominent
preachers, at the same time suggesting
that, If agreeable to the prosecution, he
was willing that they be selected as jurors.
Mr.. Van Devanter objected, aptly re-
marking that from the very nature of
their calling the clerical gentleman would
be grossly incompetent in a case OF the
character at hand. Judge Fisher seconded
and sustained his objection.
Two rather tough looking females APP
bSoiSu NlIbCSoCo lOI Jnc ucleluduU.
They were allowed to depart upon their
WI recognizance. The homlier one, if
there vas any distinction in that direc
ton, naively asserted that she was a
nice girl and lived with her papa" She
didn't want to be jailed and desired to
remain in the city. The nice girl was
informed that she need not be fearful of
police interference during the progress of
the trial in which she was held as a wit
ness. One of the police officers is the
complainant and is ably seconded and
heartily endorsed by half a dozen mem
bers of the Third Ward Law and Order
league, who assert that they know moth
ing about the affair, but believe that the
woman should be sent to the penitentiary.
As Miss Hurd has upon a previous
occasion plead guilty to frequenting a
house of ill-fame and paid a fine for the
o~ffense, it is hardly probable that her at
torney will succeed in convincing an un-
biased jury that his client can compare
with X K x driven snow for purity and
chastity. This suit is referred to by
many as a test case, but it cannot be
properly termed such. The question in
volved is as to whether the woman is
guilty of violating the city ordinances as
charged in the complaint.

The Season Opened.

The theatrical season was inaugurated
at the opera house last evening by the

Miss Louise Dillon and Miss Viola AL

very great advantage. 1t is safe to say
that the performance gave general salts
